'A discussion arose between some members of a Bible class, in reference to the first Christian exercise of the converted soul. One contended that it was penitence or sorrow; another that it was fear, another love, another hope, another faith, for how could one fear or repent without belief? Elder G-, overhearing the discussion, relieved the minds of the disputants with this remark:: 'Can you tell which spoke of the wheel moves first? You may be looking at one spoke, and think that it moves first, but they all start together. Thus, when the Spirit of God operates upon the human heart, all the graces begin to affect the penitent soul, though the individual may be more conscious of one than another.'
